FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Wash and peel the peppers and tomatoes (if you have the courage), then cut them into cubes. Peel the onion and garlic cloves and cut them into cubes. Clean the zucchini and eggplant and also cut them into coarse pieces (without peeling them).
• 2.   Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or sauté pan. Add the onion and eggplant and sauté for 3 minutes over high heat. Then add the peppers and cook for 2 more minutes over high heat. Next, add the zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, tomato paste, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  
  Simmer for 5 minutes covered, then uncover and continue cooking for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on the size of your pieces) over medium heat. If you prefer softer pieces, cook for an additional 10 minutes. Taste it, it's the best way to know what you like 🙂
  
  Serve with roasted chicken, fish, or beef roast.
